Querying changed .xml in ActionScript 3

Greetings from Boise!
Is anyone aware of a clever way to query (in AS3) an .xml file so that when the .xml file changes (as the result of an Access query in this case) the AS3 application (Google Maps API) refreshes using the new .xml data?
Thanks!

Greetings from Boise!
There will be a Well-Formed .xml document on a server that contains data on a particular Commercial Real Estate property (such as address, square footage, et. al.). When someone runs an Access query, Access will pump out a new .xml document for a property that overwrites the existing file.
When that orignal file is overwritten I would like to have Flash notice that it has been overwritten and draw in the data so that it can display the new property on a Google Maps application.
My expertise is limited to Flash, so if this is something that requires .php or another technology I'll have to hand it off. I was just hoping that someone had run across a method for such an operation.
Thanks much!

Passing parameters for a query throught XML and capturing response in the same

Where i have a List of dsRequest and RequestParams, where i can send any number of requests for Insert,Update. I have two a XML element defined in RequestParams "RowsEffected","error" where the result will be caputred and is updated
to the response XML.
I have 6 defined in RequestParams
EMP_SALARY(int),ACC_NO(int),EMP_CITY(string),EMP_NAME(string),EMP_CONTACT(string),EMP_JOM(string)
My Question is:
When i am trying to build response XML with the following code, the parameters which are not given in the Request XML are also appearing in the Response.
                ResponseParams.Add(
newdsResponse()
                    ACTION = OriginalParams[a].ACTION,
                    SOURCE = OriginalParams[a].SOURCE,
                    Manager = OriginalParams[a].Manager,
                    RequestParams = OriginalParams[a].RequestParams
Where the OriginalParams is dsRequest
Ex: In my update query i will only send three parameters, but in my response building with ablove code, i am getting all the variables defined as INT in the RequestParameters.
Is there any way i can avoid this and build response with only the parameters given in the Request ??
Appreciate ur help..Thanks
Cronsey.

Hi Kristin,
My project is, User will be giving the parameters in the excel, and using VBA, the values are captured and an XML is created in the above mentioned format and is send to web service for the Insert/Update.
I created a webservice which reads the values from <datacontract> and it consist of list of <dsRequests> where any number of Insert/Upate commands can be executed, with in which it contains a list of <RequestParams> for multiple insertion/Updation.
//function call
OriginalParams = generator.Function(query, OriginalParams);
where OriginalParams is List<dsRequest>
//inside function
command.Parameters.Add()// parameters adding
int
val = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
after the execution,an XML element is added for the response part.and it is looped for all the RequestParams.
OriginalParams[i].Result.Add(
newResult()
{ ERROR = "No Error",
ROWS_EFFECTEFD = 1 });
//once all the execution is done the response building part
for(inta
= 0; a < OriginalParams.Count; a++)
                ResponseParams.Add(
newdsResponse()
                  Result = OriginalParams[a].Result
QUEST: When i am trying to build response XML with the following code, the parameters which are not given in the Request XML are also appearing in the Response.
Ex: In my update query i will only send three parameters, but in my response building with ablove code, i am getting all the variables defined as INT in the RequestParameters.

Can we generate the output of SQL Query in XML format ..

Hi Team,
Can we generate an XML doc for an SQL Query.
I've seen in SQL Server 2000.It is generating the output of an SQL Query in xml format.
select * from emp for xml auto
The output looks like
<emp EMPNO="7369" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="20"/><emp EMPNO="7370" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="10"/>

Just a little bit of short hand.
Get the XML out of your database, via HTTP
Of course the easiest method is just to return an XMLType from a stored procedure and let the calling routine figure out what to do with it. Instead
of that way though, I'll show you how to do it via HTTP. It's all completely built into 10g and is super easy to use.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emps_and_depts AS
SELECT e.employee_id AS "EmployeeId",
e.last_name AS "Name",
e.job_id AS "Job",
e.manager_id AS "Manager",
e.hire_date AS "HireDate",
e.salary AS "Salary",
e.commission_pct AS "Commission",
XMLFOREST (
d.department_id AS "DeptNo",
d.department_name AS "DeptName",
d.location_id AS "Location"
) AS "Dept"
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id
Some people hear web and immediately start salivating about security issues. Let me address that quickly. Just because you have the HTTP and/or
FTP servers running in the database, that does not mean you have a security problem. For one, I would hope your databases are behind a firewall.
Second, with the correct architecture (DMZ, app servers, etc) you can make this data available outside the firewall fairly transparently and third,
just because it's on the web does not mean the data MUST be available on the internet. This is a good way to make your data available on your
intranet. If you are worried about people INSIDE your firewall, that still doesn't preclude web based access. Follow Oracle security guidelines.
Before I show you how to get to your data, let's talk about URLs and URIs. A URL is a Uniform Resource Locater and URI is a Uniform Resource
Identifier. A URL is the way you would identify a document on the net, i.e. http://www.oracle.com is a URL. A URI is a more generic form of a URL.
Oracle supports three types of URI: HTTPURIType - basically a URL (which would be like the URL above), XDURIType - a pointer to an XDB resource
(usually an XML document but can be other objects), and DBURIType - a pointer to database objects.
It's the DBURIType that we're going to concentrate on here. The DBURIType let's us reference database objects using a file/folder paradigm. The
format for a DBURI is /oradb/<schema>/<table>. Oradb is shorthand for the database; it is not the database name or SID. My database is named XE
but I still use oradb in the DBURI. For example, the view we created above is in my XE database, is owned by HR (at least in my case) and is called
EMPS_AND_DEPTS. This can be referenced as /oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS.
If the view had many rows and you wanted only one of them, you can restrict it by including a predicate. The documentation for XDB has a great
write up on Using DBURIs.In our case, we are going to write out the entire document. Now that you understand that the DBURI is a pointer to
objects in our instance, we can use that to access the data as a URL.
The format for the URL call is http://<machinename>:<port>/<DBURI>
In my case, my XE database is running on a machine called mach1 and is listening on port 8080. So to see the view we created above, I open my
browser and navigate to: http//mach1:8080/oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
The created URL will be as http//mach1:8080/oradb/PUBLIC/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
If your database is set up correctly and listening on port 8080 (the default), your browser should ask you to login. Login as the user who created the
view (in my case HR). You should now get an XML document displayed in your browser.
And that's it. It doesn't get much simpler than that. If you get rid of the descriptive text above, it basically comes down to:
Create a table or view
Open your web browser
Enter a URL
Enter a user ID and password
View your XML
If you notice, Oracle formatted the data as XML for us. Our view returns scalar columns and an XML fragment called Dept. Oracle formatted the
return results into an XML format.
And as a side note, if you look closely, you'll see that my URL has PUBLIC where I said to put HR. PUBLIC is a synonym for all objects that your
logged in user can see. That way, if your user has been granted select access on many schemas, you can use PUBLIC and see any of them.

LIKE operator is not working in SQL Query in XML file

Hi Gurus,
LIKE operator is not working in SQL query in XML template.
I am creating a PDF report in ADF using Jdeveloper10g. The XML template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252" ?>
<dataTemplate name="catalogDataTemplate" description="Magazine
Catalog" defaultPackage="" Version="1.0">
<parameters>
<parameter name="id" dataType="number" />
<parameter name="ename" dataType="character" />
</parameters>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[
SELECT ename, empno, job, mgr from EMP where deptno=:id and ename LIKE :ename || '%']]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="EmployeeInfo" source="Q1">
<element name="EmployeeName" value="ename" />
<element name="EMPNO" value="empno" />
<element name="JOB" value="job"/>
<element name="MANAGER" value="mgr" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
if i pass the parameter value of :ename from UI, it doesn't filter. But if I give ename = :ename it retrieves the data. Can anyone help me why LIKE operator doesn't work here?
Appreciate your help,

Hi
Well for a start, you are doing some very strange conversions there. For example...
and to_char(a.msd, 'MM/DD/YYYY') != '11/11/2030'
and to_char(a.msd, 'MM/DD/YYYY') != '10/10/2030'If a.msd is a date then you should e converting on the other side ie.
and a.msd != TO_DATE('11/11/2030', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
and a.msd != TO_DATE('10/10/2030', 'MM/DD/YYYY')Also, you may want to take into consideration nothing being input in :P2_ITEM_NUMBER like this...
AND INSTR(a.item_number,NVL(:P2_ITEM_NUMBER,a.item_number)) > 0Is item number actually a number or char field? If it's a number, you want to explicitly convert it to a string for using INSTR like this...
AND INSTR(TO_CHAR(a.item_number),NVL(TO_CHAR(:P2_ITEM_NUMBER),TO_CHAR(a.item_number))) > 0?
Cheers

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio: XML XQuery-query the XML Blob using CTE: How to specify the coorelation name in bulk rowset?

Hi all,
I just started doing the XML Xquery programming in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio. I executed the following code:
--query the XML Blob using a CTE (pulling from the XML file each time) Products
WITH XmlFile (Contents) AS (
SELECT CONVERT (XML, BulkColumn)
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'H:\Products.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) ) AS XmlData
SELECT *
FROM XmlFile
GO
I got the the following Msg:
Msg 491, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
A correlation name must be specified for the bulk rowset in the from clause.
How can I specify the correction name for the bulk rowset in my project?
Please kindly help, advise and respond.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hello Scott,
You have to assign a table alias for the OPENROWSET =>
--query the XML Blob using a CTE (pulling from the XML file each time) Products
WITH XmlFile (Contents) AS (
SELECT CONVERT (XML, BulkColumn)
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'H:\Products.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS MyXML ) AS XmlData
SELECT *

Query changes are not reflecting in the Workbook.

Hi All,
I have modified the query by adding attributes. But the changes are not reflecting in the workbook.
Do i need to insert the query again in the workbook or is there any option that will reflect the changes in the workbook
Thanks in Advance,
Suneel.

Hello Suneel,
if you insert the query again, it will work, but it is not the best way to delegate the query changes to the workbook.
Just open your query from within your workbook (BEx menu 'change global definition') and use the green button at the top left in order to transfer the new query structure to the workbook. The query will be executed and you should see the changes.
Don't forget to save the workbook afterwards.

How To Guide : Impact of a BEx query change to universes and WebI document

Ever wondered about the impact of a BEx query change to your universes and Intelligence documents ? "If I change this, will I need to refresh the universe structure ? will my Web Intelligence documents break ?". This article aims at clarifying these questions for Web Intelligence documents that use OLAP Universe(s) based on BEx query(ies). More specifically, it clarifies which BEx query change does impact Universes and Web Intelligence documents and which one is transparent to them.
The first part of this article provides a summary table. The second part explains what to do to make the universe and Web Intelligence documents reflect the BEx query change. And finally, it covers each change scenario in details with more explanation and screen shots.

Hi Rajesh J Salecha,
What I understood is like :
You have two queries and both gives same results but one of the query having a parameter.
You have one report which is using query1. Now you want that report to be copied as Report2 and use Query2 instead of Query1.
If the this is the issue, then you copy Report1 as Report2 and go in Database and change the Data source location to Query2.
Hope this will help you. If my understanding is wrong then give us the work flow.
Thanks,

Combine query and xml recordset

I'm trying to see what's the best way to combine a query and
XML recordset.
Database:
TableA
FieldA, FieldB, ...
Joe, 1
Bob, 2
XML from Web Service
<record id="1" att="Job A" .../>
<record id="2" att="Job B" .../>
Need to link TableA.fieldB to matching id attribute from the
XML recordset.
Right now, I load theXML recordset along side the query and
use XPath to search the XML based on parameters from the query that
I'm looping and output the results to screen.
<cfloop ...>
xmlStr = xmlSearch(xmlRecordset,"/root/record[id =
#qry.fieldB#]");
<tr><td>qry.fieldA</td><td>xmlStr</td></tr>
</cfloop>
Just wondering to see if it's good to do it like this.

Might be faster to convert the xml to a query and then use
query of queries with a join statement.

Updating flash from a dynamically changing XML file

Creating a non-interactive status display: I want to have the
flash display reflect data in a server-based XML-file. So far this
is easy. But I want the display to change everytime the XML file
changes-- in order to reflect status changes. I've used an
XMLConnector and specified it and the trigger in the first frame.
The Flash code catches and shows the XML values initially . But
when I edit the XML file, the new values are never picked up by
Flash- its almost as though the values are cached. How do I get
Flash to regularly be updated from a changing XML file? I've also
tried putting the trigger in a loop- but that doesn't work
either.

I DID find a solution with setInterval, but there is still a
problem of a diffeent sort.
When using XMLConnector, it appears that
XMLConnector.trigger() is the thing that goes out and gets new data
from the server. so:
function checkForData():Void {
myXML.trigger();
<<handle new values of bound data>>
var intervalID:Number = setInterval(checkForData, 10000);
works very well by executing the trigger every 10000
timeunits. This all works when run in the Flash Player. However, if
I embed the thing in a webpage (with either FireFox or IE7 or 6),
It stops triggering after the first time. Interestingly if I also
run the Flash Player version, then the web version keeps updating,
but stops if I kill the Player. So, I'm wondering: whats up with
this?

Change XML mode text to mode binary

Hi guys,
In PI 7.0 when i do one call to RFC (RFC Receiver) the message between PI and ECC is a XML mode text.
Anbody know how can i change XML mode text to mode binary ? (traffic in my network xml binary instead of xml text)
Can anybody help me, please ?

Hi
According to my knowledge its not possible for the RFC receiver adapter if the RFC is the standard one, for other adapters like file we can set this.
Give that File type as Binary in the sender communication channel and test.
